Customer reviews for Bionaire BT440RC-U
I really like this fan. It gives off a nice, cool breeze. What I like most is that the air doesn't feel forced like an air conditioner. It gives off more of a natural breeze that feels really good.
A nice energy-saving feature is that you can set the fan to shut off after 1, 2, 4 or 8 hours. With my windows open, I barely notice the sound of the fan on the first speed. I do notice the sound at speed 3. Depending on how sensitive your ears are, you may find the sound at level 3 a little annoying. It makes sort of a low to mid-range buzzing/humming sound - from the motor I suppose.
Attaching the base to the fan took about 10 minutes or so...not rocket science; just a little awkward. I found that using a flat head instead of a Phillips screwdriver allowed me to really tighten the screws to the base. If the screws are not tightened enough, you will have a real wobbly fan. So tighten those screws.
Overall, I'm satisfied with this fan. However, I would have given this product five stars if it were more silent on the higher speeds.
Bionaire BT440RC-U Review by Suzanne Shea (California, USA)
The unit itself is 4 or 5 stars for short term functionality, unknown for long term usage because we've only used the units so far for a cumulative few months so we just don't know how they will hold up, and zero stars for customer service and support from the manufacturer/distributor.
Functionality: the units are nice looking, have a small footprint in a room, put out a lot of air fairly quietly, and the remote and settings all work. We used one last summer and added two this summer.
Warranty Support: Zero. One of the units we received was unusable out of the box because it was shipped with "two left feet" and could therefore not be assembled and used. It has a nominal five year warranty, so I followed the manual in contacting the manufacturer to send a replacement part for the missing base. They responded that they would "normally" supply a replacement for the unit, but they don't "have any", and don't know when they _will_ have any, so check back with them someday to see if they will ever provide warranty support. The five year warranty is a complete lie, in other words. This was a DOA problem, so we got Amazon to replace the unit instead, but be warned that the warranty is not honored by the manufacturer. To add insult to injury, because I gave an email address to the manufacturer when seeking warranty support, they are now sending me unsolicited spam about their other products!
Note that we haven't sought warranty support from the manufacturer's competitors, so I can't say whether any of them are better or not. The fan itself is nice, so if you get one, get it from a reputable retailer and check it out thoroughly for out of the box defects, while it can still be returned if necessary.
Bionaire BT440RC-U Review by jim o
My first one of these fans ran mostly 24x7 for almost 21 months. I use it in the winter to circulate the uneven heat in my apartment. I leave it on all night and all day. In the summer, I use it to circulate the cool air from my air conditioner. I always left it on during the day when I went to work. The bearing finally started chirping after 21 months. I never cleaned the thing either. I expect to get another two years out of the new one. Oh yeah, great way to dry off after a shower, lol.
